The concept of letting people who might die of it die, because whoever's left will be immune, makes eminently good sense as far as evolution is concerned -- but it's an "other logic" that people tend not to prefer when it turns out that they and theirs might be the ones who have to die for it to work.

I find the fact that high-ranking members of a government can be so callous and inhumane in their ideas for society to be extremely disturbing, and this will certainly affect how I vote, in future.

What will only be effective as long as current politicians are still on the stage. When "new blood" come, they will lie at us as always and we will start over again. Sadly.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

You've inspired me to work on a script for a cartoon movie.

I'll call it "The Lying King".

The songs should be great: The Vicious Circle of Life, Can you Ridicule the Love, Tonight, I Just can't Wait to be a Despot, etc.

Although I don't wish any harm to anyone, I am a bit against, wishing "him" (I don't mind if he, another politician, a football player or whatever else) all the best.

We should wish EVERYONE all the best, not only individuals.

This is hitting all of us, and he is just one more.

Whilst I wish all sufferers of the virus the best and a speedy recovery, I really do object to this man being put in intensive care "as a precautionary measure" (as reported on the BBC et al).

"He's received oxygen but not been put on a ventilator" - then get him out of ICU and give that bed to someone "less important" than the Prime Minister, who actually needs to be in ICU. Oxygen can be administered in the general wards - or the waiting area - or even at home - I know, I've seen it too many times.

Alternatively, if he really is ill enough to warrant being in the unit then the media need to stop reporting it as "precautionary" - because that will not sit well with bereaved families, or the families of the stricken who might think they're not getting the best treatment.

They're not doing a lot of reporting on his fiancee either - pregnant and also showing symptoms of covid-19 - I wish her the best and a speedy recovery too.

Sorry - no Soapbox any more. I'll grab my virtual coat.

With that country's sprawling informal settlements where hundreds of thousands of people live in close proximity, making social distancing nigh impossible, I fear for their future. Sigh | :sigh:

Well, they say that marriages that go through hardship are the strongest.

I was recently banned (for good reason I admit) for calling another member a derogatory name, twice. You WILL get banned if you continue your ways, I promise you.

Since we don't have the soapbox anymore, just bite your tongue and chill, and be thankful you are still alive.

If someone is trolling and baiting you to take a fall, let them. Ignore them.

If you like this site, as I do, it is not worth it to be calling people names.
